Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. was first led to success by Cy Weller, a solutions-driven former attorney from San Antonio who was drafted into the Army. When he returned home from the Army in 1943, he found that he no longer had office space for his legal practice. So he used his experience from the Army to buy military equipment, including salvage trucks, from the government to sell to trucking companies. Cy quickly found the demand for and dilemma of transporting perishable items, such as fruit and seafood, across the United States. Though the trucking industry already had refrigerated trucks, there were no trucks in mass production at that time with the deep freezing capacity to transport perishable goods over long distances. Cy was soon purchasing Army refrigerators that were used for international shipment of food and installing these refrigerators into trailers. These were among our nation’s first deep refrigeration trailers.
A permit was required to operate a trucking company in Texas. During the process of requesting a permit, Cy ran into a gentleman named Roger Malone who had started a trucking company called Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. Roger Malone decided to exit the trucking business, and by November 1948, Cy Weller had control of the permit and the corporation.
OUR GROWTH
Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. became a publicly traded company in 1971 and enjoyed several profitable years. During much of that time, FFEX stock regularly outperformed its competitors.
Stoney retired from FFE in the late 1970’s. Stoney’s son, Stoney (Mit) Stubbs, Jr., first started working on trucks with his family while he was still in high school. He officially joined FFE in 1960 after graduating from Texas A&M University. He started as an LTL Dispatcher, worked his way through the ranks, and was ultimately promoted to President in 1979 and CEO and Chairman of the Board in 1984.
